Why docker?
  • If you're looking for alternatives of Calibre and Jellyfin then storage of container image won't be an issue for you. Whatever you want to access with Jellyfin will be likely much larger than all of the container images that you're looking for combined.

    Found the ultimate Nextcloud / Owncloud replacement!
  • Pro:

    • it's written in GoLang, which makes it probably less resource Hungry than Nextcloud (but the new OwnCloud is written in GoLang, too)
    • it supports multiple storage providers

    Con:

    • NextCloud has a lot of NextCloud apps that allow you to do far more than just storing files
    • I just get a weird feeling when I see dependencies to Tencent Cloud and Upyun. But it's probably just me and it's probably just used properly for binding on their cloud storage.

    Which LDAP is recommended to deploy?
  • If you really only want LDAP, take LLDAP. But most people might want more and in that case KanIDM (LDAP, OAuth2, RADIUS and more) might be what you're looking for.

    Both projects are modern, written in Rust and very lightweight.

    How do you backup your docker containers when so much is owned by root?
  • Can't you run a restic container where you mount everything? If the restic container is insecure, everything is of course.

    But yes, I also migrated to rootless Podman for this reason and a bunch of others.

    a docker image for a Runalyze fork, a fitness tracking app
  • wouldn’t accept a PR on the tools repo

    where did they write that?

    Also you could just try, no? Because this way existing users who don't know about your fork or this reddit thread will also get a chance to profit from it. And codeproducer198 will be able to see that others are using their work, too.

    Cryptomator
  • Use rClone with local storage. Nice thing about it is, that you can also mount it from your desktop and phone.

    It's fast, robust and easy.

    And there's also folks on Reddit.

    Time & Attendance system recommendations?
  • What's the purpose of this sub? To post pictures and diagrams?

    No, to answer all the questions that were not asked so often that they are already answered by the FAQ and its links.

    Also what would be the point of having a search bar here on Reddit if nobody is using it, right?

    People asked for a time tracker just two weeks ago. It's very unlikely that much happened during that time, don't you think?

    Guess what: what happened two weeks ago is exactly the same: Kimai was also suggested there already.

    And people here are getting tired answering the same questions over and over again.

    And most Reddit threads are getting less app suggestions than the mentioned ones on the awesome selfhosted list.

    So if you're really implying that the only purpose of the selfhosted Subreddit would be to copy the things that are already mentioned on a repo that is literally linked here in the Reddit links every single day, then this would be the saddest Subreddit ever.

    Advice on Self-Hosting Mailserver
  • I used docker-mailserver before and find it less resource intense than MailCow but MailCow and Mailu might be easier to administer for your if you need to have a user GUI that's permanently running.

    However, Stalwart Mail (also on Reddit) is certainly the mailserver that I'd suggest to anyone nowadays since it's easier, modern tooling, efficient and secure.

    Having said that, I'd also suggest not hosting email by your own. I'm happily doing it but issues with reputation and SPAM and are thing.

    Self Hosted User Magement Tools
  • You might want to setup KanIDM. It speaks OAuth/OIDC/LDAP etc.

    Therefore you can configure on your applications to use authentication via KanIDM and then you can simply administer your users in one place without having to worry.

    There are many other tools but this one is by far the most modern, lightweight and powerful that I know.
